The document summarizes the 2014 KNCAP (Korean New Car Assessment Program) updated status. It discusses the progress and expansion of KNCAP testing categories and protocols over time. Key points include that KNCAP has been conducted since 1999 and now tests over 118 vehicles in categories like passenger cars, buses and trucks. Testing categories have expanded and injury risks in frontal impact and side impact tests have decreased over time. Future plans are outlined to further strengthen tests for areas like offset frontal impacts, pedestrian safety, and active safety systems.

Whiplash
Pedestrian
Protection
Active Hood or Pedestrian Airbag Test if avail.

14.  Evaluated the probability of Roll over
 Static and dynamic test
Static Dynamic
 Evaluate the braking distance while vehicle is quick braking from 100 km/h to 0 km/h
 Performed on dry and wet road

Test Protocols (Current)

15. Add Test Protocols (Current vs. Future)
 Seat Belt Reminder
- Driver and Passenger seat on first row
- Initial, Middle and Final warning occurrence check
 Lane Departure Warning System
- Warning occurrence check when vehicle is crossed the lane
 Forward Collision Warning System
- Warning occurrence check when vehicle is sensing probability of contact with
forward vehicle or hazard
